How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before any disassembly.
Steps:
- Hard reset: Disconnect power for at least 15 minutes, then reconnect to a stable outlet and try again.
- Check for update mode: Some Philips smart air fryers may enter a service/update mode. Refer to service documentation (if available) for key combinations to reset or reload firmware. This is typically for authorized service centers only.
- Board replacement: If the unit consistently shows E9 and cannot be reset, the main control board (with integrated MCU and firmware) usually must be replaced.
Warning: End users generally cannot safely reprogram firmware without Philips service tools. Attempting to flash unofficial firmware can permanently damage the appliance.
